Solar Borehole Pumps
A solar borehole pump is a highly efficient, submersible water extraction system powered directly by solar panels. Utilizing advanced variable speed AC motors driven by an intelligent MPPT solar controller, our pumps provide a reliable, 100% off-grid solution for agricultural, commercial, and residential water supply in remote locations.
Understanding Solar Borehole Technology
Are they DC or AC Pumps?
While the industry commonly refers to them as "Solar Pumps" because they connect directly to solar panels (which produce DC power), the pump mechanisms themselves actually utilize highly efficient, low-voltage variable speed AC motors. The included MPPT controller intelligently converts the raw solar DC energy into the precise AC frequency required to drive the motor optimally.
Centrifugal vs. Screw Pumps
Screw Pumps operate using a helical rotor inside a stator, making them excellent for pushing water from deep boreholes (high head) at lower flow rates. Centrifugal Pumps utilize spinning impellers and are ideal for delivering higher volumes of water (high flow) from shallower depths.
Sizing Note: A pump's "Submersible Depth" rating is how far beneath the water surface the pump can safely operate, not the total depth of your borehole. Always ensure you are sizing your pump based on its "Max Head" capability and your required flow rate.
